Probably all of us were at that age when playing in the sandbox was our favorite pastime. Therefore, when we became adults, we ourselves had children, we strive to instill in them no less love for him.
Unfortunately, courtyard sandboxes are far from our children's ideal: dirty sand mixed with earth, clay and some old branches looks more like swamp slush, and not a place for games. They are also a public toilet for stray cats and dogs. Do we really want to let go of our beloved child to play what is commonly called the sandbox?
So why not take us, the parents, the design of playgrounds in our hands? Are we so busy with our work, TV and shopping that we cannot even create all the conditions for our children to develop them? Why is the design of playgrounds with their own hands causing modern parents complete bewilderment and even horror?
This is not a huge cost. You can create everything you need from the means at hand. Imagine how your child will be proud that his parent himself made a swing for him!
Designing playgrounds can begin with landscaping: plant the perimeter with low-growing shrubs that will replace the fence. For the sandbox, too, a lot of money is not needed - except perhaps a few boards, a hammer, well, and hands to grow from that place. True, in order not to build a new toilet for homeless animals , you need to figure out how to cover it. I think a dense waterproof fabric is quite suitable: it can be nailed to the boards and you get a real cover.
There is no need to talk about how children love swings. But can a child give himself such pleasure in every yard? But for this, too, a great skill is not required. An even plank and a rope suspended from two sides. The design of children's playgrounds is also very important: bare and unfinished things are unlikely to instill in our children a love of creativity.
Out of unnecessary tires, excellent flowerbeds will be obtained, and decorative “tile” will be made from sawn across the stumps. I would also like to do something fabulous, for example, an old Borovichka from an old Soviet cartoon. With a hat, you may have to work hard, but his torso will be replaced by a decorated old stump with roots.
The design of playgrounds is such a creative process that our children will be happy to participate in it. After all, they too can come up with a flowerbed in the form of a crocodile or a giraffe from old tires and help to decorate multi-colored swings with a sandbox.
Toddlers are especially fond of playing with small objects such as pebbles. And what is next to the sandbox to make a “dry lake” filled with small pebbles?
A table with chairs can be built in the shape of a mushroom using old stumps. It is enough to work a little with your imagination, and the design of playgrounds will give us considerable pleasure from the process done. Such joint actions will bring together not only our children, but also our parents, and then, maybe, I don’t want to stop there, because the playgrounds for kindergarten no less need resuscitation than the yard. And who, if not us, will still help our children?
